Should College Baseball Change The NCAA Tournament Format? & RPI Bingo - Weekend 12 Preview
The 11.7 podcast crew (Jack, Noah, Dimitri, and Ben) opens with no plan, plugs Homefield Apparel, and dives into “RPI season,” joking about teams canceling midweek games to protect their resumes while tracking an RPI Bingo card (including canceled games like UNC–Queens and Oklahoma–Texas Tech). They recap midweek results and moments such as Coastal Carolina throttling UNC, UCLA beating UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine upsetting USC, Texas winning on a walk-off two-run homer, Oregon ending Gonzaga’s 14-game streak with a nine-pitcher bullpen game, and Nebraska walking off Kansas State. The group riffs on social media delusion, broadcast quality issues in Ole Miss–Mississippi State at Pearl, and debates potential NCAA baseball tournament changes, strongly opposing expansion or altering the current format. They finish with Weekend Series Pick ’Em selections, highlight disagreements like South Carolina at LSU, and set an Uber Eats bet on that series.00:00 Cold Open Chaos00:24 Sponsor Shoutouts01:35 RPI Bingo Season05:51 Open Dates Banter09:17 Calling The Bingo Shot10:42 Midweek Recap14:16 Fanbases And Rivalries23:54 Kentucky Stock Pile On32:16 Dont Touch The Tourney33:31 32 Hosts Pros And Cons43:20 Reseeding And TV Matchups47:32 Rivalry Omaha Dream49:53 Super Regional Seeding Talk50:16 Banter and Bullying51:54 Nerd vs Dork Debate53:11 Weekend Pick Em Setup54:41 Standings and Uber Eats Bet57:47 LSU Stock Hot Take01:00:26 Creighton vs St Johns Picks01:02:53 TCU vs Oklahoma State Picks01:06:54 Southland Showdown Lamar vs SELA01:10:47 OVC Rule Never Fade SEMO01:13:21 South Carolina vs LSU Chaos01:27:34 UCF vs Arizona State Finale01:30:58 Locking the Bet and Sign Off

The 11.7 podcast recaps weekend 11 with a focus on major risers and fallers across college baseball. Kansas sweeps Kansas State on the road, boosts its RPI to 12, and looks like a serious Big 12 title and hosting contender, while UCF rebounds with a road sweep at Utah and Cincinnati builds momentum with ranked series wins despite a midweek loss. UCLA remains No. 1 despite a shaky series vs Sacramento State, and USC’s sweep of Purdue highlights resume questions tied to quad records. In the SEC, Florida’s Friday strength (Aidan King) contrasts with series losses, Texas A&M earns credit for a series win and Jorian Wilson’s impact, Georgia’s Caden Aoki delivers huge innings to win Game 3 at Ole Miss, and LSU’s bullpen collapses in a sweep at Mississippi State, pushing LSU toward missing the postseason. The ACC segment covers Pitt’s explosive week, Wake Forest’s collapses vs Georgia Tech, Florida State got swept by Stanford, and bubble/hosting debates. The show ends with discussion of Sun Belt and other conference races plus the 11.7 Field of 64 projector and bubble watch. 00:00 Intro01:09 Kansas Sweeps K-State06:29 UCF Bounce Back Sweep08:31 Cincinnati Resume Builder13:05 UCLA Survives Sac State16:44 USC RPI & Hosting Path19:13 Florida Pitching Debate23:32 Texas A&M Star Jorian Wilson30:31 Georgia at Ole Miss37:55 SEC Race Betting Angle42:27 LSU Bullpen Collapse44:48 Mississippi State Sweep Takeaways45:58 LSU Bullpen Meltdown47:56 South Carolina Coaching Speculation50:28 Post Title Hangover Theory56:26 Auburn Wins and Kentucky Reality Check58:25 Pitt Makes Big Time Noise01:04:25 Wake Forest Collapses vs Georgia Tech01:09:31 Clemson’s Banana Ball Roast01:11:45 Louisville Bubble Math01:15:56 Florida State Worries and Miami Injury Watch01:19:12 ACC Wrap Up01:21:49 Stanford Roster Memories01:24:38 ACC Bubble Math01:26:23 Big West Chaos Watch01:29:01 UC Santa Barbara Frustrations01:31:55 AAC Title Race01:37:13 Conference USA Shakeup01:40:41 Sun Belt RPI Mysteries01:51:13 Field of 64 Projection01:58:21 Outro

Weekend 10 Preview, Bethune Cookman Beats Florida and UCSB Upsets UCLA + Panic Meter
The 11.7 Podcast hosts recap midweek college baseball and preview Weekend 10, starting with a Homefield Apparel ad highlighting the Jackie Robinson Day UCLA collection, limited button-down jersey, and a Friday pullover “jersey” drop, plus teasing upcoming Omaha plans. They respond to listener comments about show length and Dmitri’s “speed it up” habit, then discuss Bethune-Cookman beating Florida after also beating LSU (despite losing to Mississippi Valley State) and note Sully’s tense, wordless pitching change. UC Santa Barbara ends UCLA’s 27-game win streak and is framed as a dangerous regional matchup due to elite pitching but offensive concerns. The episode hits other midweek upsets, debates Southern Miss and bubble/RPI dynamics (including Arizona State, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt, and SEC win thresholds), previews key weekend series, makes Pick ’Em selections, and spins the wheel to award Homefield prize packs to weekly Pick ’Em winners. 00:00 Podcast Intro and Sponsor00:31 Jackie Robinson Collection01:59 Pullover Drop and Omaha Tease05:24 Listener Feedback Speed It Up12:10 Bethune Cookman Upsets Florida18:51 UCSB Ends UCLA Streak26:07 Ole Miss vs Southern Miss Debate39:15 Midweek Upsets Roundup40:13 Midweek Upset Roundup41:13 RPI Watch St Joes Trouble42:24 Arizona State Bubble Slide44:31 Coaching Changes Matter49:29 Rice Owls Bubble Path50:58 Texas Tech RPI Debate01:00:22 Vanderbilt Magic Number Fight01:08:42 SEC RPI Trends Scheduling01:14:05 Preseason SEC Poll Reality Check01:15:52 Weekend Lookahead Clemson Must Win01:16:42 Close Losses Breakdown01:17:04 LSU vs Texas A&M Stakes01:17:39 Big West Bubble Talk01:18:46 Upset Picks Segment01:22:26 Mississippi State Spiral01:22:57 Pick Em Slate Setup01:26:30 Georgia Tech vs UNC Picks01:28:32 Ole Miss vs Tennessee Picks01:33:13 USC vs Nebraska Hosting Battle01:38:00 Ohio State vs Purdue Picks01:41:30 Cal Baptist vs Tarleton WAC01:45:34 Liberty vs DBU Clash01:49:30 Pick Em Prize Wheel01:52:25 Final Story and Sign Off

Weekend 9 Recap + LIVE Field of 64 Projection (Bad Idea)
*Disclaimer from Ben* "This ended up being a bad idea and probably the worst podcast episode we have ever recorded. Promise to be better Wednesday... On paper, filling out a field of 64 seemed fun and easy, but it turned out to be absolutely impossible and boring The 11.7 Podcast recaps college baseball weekend nine with a different format: building a live Field of 64 projection while discussing the weekend’s biggest results. They debate top-16 seeds and key storylines including Texas A&M’s series win over Texas with a canceled rubber game, UCLA’s 14-inning win at Rutgers featuring 30 strikeouts and Logan Reddemann’s 18 K start, Georgia Tech’s offense against Florida State, Florida winning at Georgia behind strong pitching, Alabama getting swept by Arkansas, and Tennessee sweeping Mississippi State.
